Our cabins are located approximately 1 1/2 miles after you turn onto South Point Rd. Located directly off the right side of the road, you will see our cool farm store that has a variety of goodies and fresh fruits(seasonal). There is an awesome timber framed porch to relax on while you enjoy a cup of locally grown coffee or a delicious smoothie!

We want our future guests to know that these are very comfortable, basic, free standing cabins. We have an open/outdoor kitchen and a private, semi-open bathroom that is well ventilated. This part of the island is remote, and this is a farm. Our cabins are clean, simple and rustic. We want our place to be a nice place for people to enjoy and stay, but there is a lot of nature down here. The wi-fi can be difficult in the cabins, but if you sit on the porch of the store it is more easily accessed. Please follow our directions instead of your phone as the maps get people lost. Turn off Hwy 11 onto South Point Rd. and watch for signs approx. 1 1/2 mile down on the right side, 93-2073. You will turn into the driveway and right into our store.

Simple and serene. Definitely very basic but that was all I needed. South Point is a unique and beautiful area. Very earthy. I slept well in my bunk bed and loved the semi-outdoor shower below old growth trees. Almost like camping. So grateful for this availability. Thanks to James and family.

Donna Sue2017-09-05T00:00:00Z

The farm is beautiful and secluded. The cabins are basic, mine just had a bunk-bed and a little table. The bathroom is semi-open air. So, it's kinda like a summer camp. I enjoyed my stay.

Dan2017-07-16T00:00:00Z

Really cool place to stay!

Elizabeth2017-08-04T00:00:00Z

They have been very welcoming and friendly. We enjoyed chatting with them during our breakfast. we recommend them.

Gwenaelle2017-06-16T00:00:00Z

Accommodation is not very luxurious, but it is sufficient for overnight stays. The bathroom is very "rustic and partly open.

Petra2017-05-06T00:00:00Z

James was really nice host. I found cockroaches and bugs in my bedroom but I got my money back. If you don't mind this "nature" bugs, it'll be great. Otherwise take another place

Aloha and welcome to Halawai ( the point where heaven and earth meet), a Sanctuary Oasis on the road to Magical Green Sands Beach!
We are located half way between Hilo and Kona on a 3 acre peaceful sanctuary in mystical South Point, Na'alehu Hawaii. This is a great place to have as a base when touring the Southern part of the island.
You will love my home, it's bright, clean, comfortable, cheery and filled with Aloha Spirit!

Your rental is an entire beautiful, 1 bedroom 1 bath apartment located on the upper floor. There is a grand outdoor staircase to access the upper floor, where you pass through your own private huge Lanai (an outside covered verandah) to relax on and enjoy the herb and flower garden below. You enter the sliding door to a cheery room full of light, good energy, Hawaiian art and colors. For your comfort there is a full kitchen, with island, stove, microwave, and refrigerator, coffee, tea, fruit etc. The bedroom has a new queen sized memory foam mattress to relax and dream in peaceful ease. The adjoining bath is newly remodeled and stylish, well appointed, and comfortable with a deep soaking tub and shower. There is a full size futon sofa if extra sleeping arrangements are needed.

South Point in Hawaiian is known as "Ka Lae" which means "The Point", as its the southern most point of the Hawaiian Kingdom and the whole United States! No light pollution makes for FANTASTIC FOR STAR WATCHING UNDER THE MILKY WAY AND SOUTHERN CROSS!!!
South Point is the very place where the first sea faring Polynesians (Hawaiians) came ashore so long ago and the region where the mightiest warrior, King Kamehameha trained in the Hawaiian arts. The land has strong Mana! (energy) On the way to Green Sands Beach you can still see remains of the rock hale's (houses) and stone Heiau's (temples) of these Ancient Hawaiian's.
Our Neighborhood (South Point Road) is full of farms growing Macadamia nuts, coffee, and various other offerings. There is a first rate quaint coffee shop and small gift shop on a flower farm a couple houses down from us to enjoy outstanding Ka'u regional coffee, lattes and chai in their garden. Incredibly they also offer Yoga classes in the greenhouse of the flower farm.
The town of Na'alehu (of which South Point is a part of) is so quaint with the famous Punaluu Bakery, Ka'u coffee plantations, Hana Hau restuarant, gas and small store. It is about an 8 minute drive into the heart of Na'alehu. Na'alehu Farmers Market is on Wednesdays and Saturdays! You will see why Mark Twain loved it here! Volcano's National Park and Thurston Lava Tube is about a 40 minute drive. Kahuku National Park is 1.5 miles away. Green Sand Beach is at the bottom of our road, Punaluu Black Sand Beach is about 15 minute drive and Whittington Beach Park is also down the road.
Ocean View and Naalehu both have simple home style restuarants and each are about a 7 mile drive. For Groceries, Ocean View is the best option as there are 2 large markets there to obtain groceries.

Other things to note
This area of the island is more remote, so whether you are coming from Hilo or Kona, you might want to stock up on groceries or snacks before heading down this way. There are two small markets located in Ocean View, which is 10 miles before Naalehu coming from Kona. There are also two small restaurants in Naalehu that close pretty early. We are always happy to give anyone detailed descriptions!

Many other surprises and sacred sites to explore in and around Kau!
Excerpt from Hawai'i Vortex Field Guide:
"Besides being the landing place of the first Hawaiians, and home to a remarkable green sand beach, South Point, known locally as Ka lae, is said by the local residents to be like a rift in time. UFO sightings and intense energies are things you may hear about taking place there. The ley line coming into the South Point vortex of the Big Island, not far from Kalani, is considered to be one of the most powerful to be on land. Author William "Pila" Chiles talks about the South Point as a "doorway" where "the density of three dimensional reality seems to be very thin" and the energy is "very unusual".
The South Point vortex is believed to be an aperture or 'doorway' between dimensions, one of many to exist in the world. It's our belief after researching and writing this book that Hawai'i is connected in some ways to India as well as Egypt, two other sacred locations, by what is referred to as the World Grid."

We had a lot of fun to spend a night in this rustic lodging, but so original, in the middle of nature! We fell asleep with the singing frogs and a little cool and pleasant breeze. Thanks to the information provided, we easily found the house.

Carine2016-05-24T00:00:00Z

This location is one to remember! Tucked back in the trees off South Point road, minutes from so much to do, food options and local places to visit. You can't go wrong here! Perfect for a small party of 2, up to 6. Expectations were blown away! Jillian and Michael were extremely helpful, courteous, and there for anything you might need. We will be back and next time, it will definitely be longer than one night!!

Miranda2017-05-31T00:00:00Z

This is a great spot to relax away from everything. The cabin surroundings are peaceful and jillian is a great and accommodating host. We thoroughly enjoyed our two nights!

Alexandra2017-02-28T00:00:00Z

I cannot give this place enough praise! We had such an awesome time here. The beds were soooo comfortable, the bathroom was AWESOME and the place had a great vibe. Jillian thought of everything to make the place comfortable and fun. It was so nice coming back to this magical little spot after hiking through the Volcano and the Green Sand beach (which by the way is freaking amazing -- hands down best beach in the world!! I wish we booked more time here because there are so many hidden amazing things to do in Ka'u!) Jillian left us fresh fruit from the land and fresh passion flower juice. So g(PHONE NUMBER HIDDEN)d!! Her and her husband even gave us a tour of their retreat center and we met their cute little dwarf goats! This is a sweet hidden gem if I do say so myself and I am thinking of coming back for one of their yoga retreats in the winter -- If you want good vibes and real Hawaii this is your spot!

Jillian2016-09-08T00:00:00Z

We were very excited to spend our last night in the island here. The communication with Jillian was prompt, clear and easy. We did not end up being able to make our reservation however because of weather and risk of flash flooding on the roads. Jillian was very understanding and gave us a partial refund. We hope to make it back to this wonderful sounding place and try it out!

Sara Marie2016-09-15T00:00:00Z

Very quiet and comfortable place. Loved lilikoi and other fruits.

anouk2017-02-25T00:00:00Z

Jillian has a beautiful place, she and her husband are very kind and helpful host! The hut is cute and has a great outdoor show, comfortable beds, a fantastic oven and huge fridge! Some details like the indoor bathroom are still in construction process and in progress. Because of that jillian was so kind to charge us less! Thank you for all!

Puneh 2016-08-29T00:00:00Z

The Enchanted Eco Retreat was a pleasure to stay at. It was interesting to see how to live off the grid in an environmentally sensitive guest house. Thanks for the delicious fruits and great communication.

This 3 bedroom beautifully decorated Polynesian home features a stunning swimming pool and large lanai area and is surrounded by a beautiful Japanese garden, located on the 5th fairway of Discovery Harbour Golf Course, just 5 minutes from the quaint old Hawaiian sugar cane town of Naalehu.

This house is near South Point, the southern most tip of the `Big Island` in a lush part of the Kau District. It has beautiful views from the glass enclosed lanai or from any place in the garden of the ocean, the sometimes snow capped Mauna Loa Mountain, the 5th fairway of the golf course, Naalehu, and the volcanic plume visable from far away up the coast in Volcano National Park where the lava meets the sea. It is just minutes away from Kawaa Beach,the Buddhist Temple in Wood Valley, the Black Sands Beach at Punalu`u, and the Green Sands Beach at South Point (you need four wheel drive to drive to the Green Sands Beach, or you may park and walk). Take in the spectacular views at the Volcano National Park; see the earth renewing itself with the lava flowing into the ocean, creating new land, and check out the hidden lava tree forest. You can go to Kailua-Kona or Hilo and take in the sights and return to your own little corner of the world and relax in this beautiful home with all the creature comforts.

This is a beautiful house in a great location on the southern end of the island. The house, yard and pool area were so serene and so nice. It was quiet and beautiful on the golf course. The house is close to the cute town of Naalehu. It is less touristy here, and we liked that. It's close to black sands beach, south point, and the volcano state park. The house provided all the amenities needed for trips to the beach (beach towels, cooler and ice packs for the cooler) and for cooking in (kitchen was fully equipped with all you need). It was so comfortable for our family of four. We loved it here! Would definitely want to stay here again on a return visit to the island. Highly recommend!

Pamela2017-04-04T00:00:00Z

Beautiful location and comfortable home. Met all our needs. Some updating and fixing is needed. Confused a bit as well with all the security cameras both inside and outside of home. These could be a little off putting to guests, especially the inside cameras.

Janet2017-08-20T00:00:00Z

Great home in a more secluded part of the island. It's about an hour and twenty minutes to both Kona and Hilo and is a short drive away from Green Sand Beach and Black Sand Beach.

Beautiful, solar and wind powered home, with amazing views (photos here don't do justice). Kirsi & Mike were prompt with replies to our questions, gave great tips for around the area, were flexible when we needed a late arrival and a late checkout. They even took time to show us the workings of their unique off the grid home. Would stay here again.

This is a wonderful home to stay in with views of the ocean, gold course, and a beautiful garden setting. The house is decorated European style with beautiful wood decor. It is very well stocked and clean. We recommend this house as a great location to visit Green Sand Beach, Black Sand Beach, the Volcano and Southpoint. Lex and Cheri

Enjoy waking up to ocean views, in your own private studio complete with full kitchen, large walk in closet and large bath. Hikers paradise with green sands, volcano and south point trails close by! Take a brief drive to the southern most part of the United States, enjoy breathtaking views along the way.

Enjoy your own kitchen, bathroom, porch and living space surrounded by lush landscaping and tropical plants. The porch is surrounded by a grassy yard with 180 deg ocean and mountain views. There are two dogs and one cat on the property. They are very friendly and may greet you occasionally.
There is an additional space with queen size bed available for extended families or multiple guests if needed. This space is separate from the studio and accessed from the kitchen.
Great place to stay and explore the island! With Volcano National Park, Green Sands, Black Sands "Punalu'u" and South Point nearby. Very peaceful place to come home to after long hikes and days of exploring.

A variety of tropical fresh fruits, rolls, bagels, cream cheese, jelly’s, coffee and teas will be stocked in your kitchen for you to enjoy at your leisure. Enjoy breakfast on your private porch. The studio is newly remodeled with carpet, paint, tile floors and granite counters. It comes complete with clean sheets, towels, hand soap, plates, cups and utensils. The kitchen has a large fridge, stove, oven, microwave, toaster and coffee maker. The washer and dryer is a door away from the kitchen as well as a small library with mostly art and island books to explore. There is also a BBQ to use.

The private apartment is incredibly cute and comfortable. It has its own fully functional kitchen and is exceptionally welcoming. Linda, our host, displayed all the warmth and hospitality you could ask for. She gave us a tour, then left us on our own to enjoy our little paradise. She even left us the most perfect papaya ever. It is about as close to green sand beach as you can get, 20 minutes from south point, 20 minutes from the black sand beach and 40 minutes from Volcano. Be sure and and call before you arrive because the grass driveway is easy to miss. Overall a fabulous experience.

Lachlan2014-10-28T00:00:00Z

We had a nice time in Na'alehu! Once we started our drive from Paul and Linda's ohana (guest house) we were pleased to see the ocean views! The baked goods and Kona coffee were a delight to enjoy on our lazy mornings and the space was impeccably clean! We were delighted to find that the television was hooked up to a hulu/netflix and other program options so we could watch our favorite shows! The small kitchen was perfect for quick fix dinners and the lanai was pleasant in early mornings. Mahalo Paul & Linda!

Lara2016-08-08T00:00:00Z

Had a very pleasant and quiet stay. Loved playing with Linda's golden retrievers. The mangos and croissants were a very nice touch. The unit itself was spacious and very comfortable. Could not have been happier.

Shane2014-10-09T00:00:00Z

We are incredibly grateful to Paul and Linda for our experience at the Garden studio. We absolutely loved the apartment and enjoyed meeting Linda. The space is great with plenty of room and all the amenities needed for a very comfortable stay. Linda makes the best passion fruit jelly on the island and we hope to visit once again in the near future. Having the three puppies made our stay a memorable one. They are adorable, fun and great to have around. Thank you for everything, we hope to come back very soon!

Jon2015-02-09T00:00:00Z

Linda (&Paul) were great hosts, super responsive and friendly. The house is in a very quiet and peaceful neighborhood, and a quick drive to town. The studio is spacious and well appointed with great coffee and fresh fruits. Worth a stop if you're making your way around the island.

Paolo2014-12-29T00:00:00Z

We very much enjoyed our time here. It's a great airbnb , very quiet, clean and Linda goes out of her way to make you feel welcome.

Greg2015-01-26T00:00:00Z

Our stay in the studio was wonderful! It looked just like the photos and was a great place from which to explore the south side of the Big Island. Linda was so nice and welcoming. She provided some pastries and delicious fresh fruit for us. We really enjoyed our stay and would recommend the studio to anyone looking for a clean, quiet place to stay.

Sarah2015-09-20T00:00:00Z

Linda was a very gracious host who made sure we had everything we needed. Apartment was like a home away from home with a very private entrance. Everything was very clean, modern and comfortable. Provided a great choice of breakfast fruit and pastry. Very remote, yet a reasonable drive to the southern shore and to Vocano National Park.

Our spacious home in Naalehu is the perfect base for your Hawaiian family vacation. Halfway between Hilo and Kona, you can see the whole island. 2,000 SF of living area with wonderful outdoor spaces and an ocean view, our home is on the 12th fairway of a beautiful golf course which is open for the sole enjoyment of us and our guests. Kids can roam around all they want or you can golf for free. Our home is fully equipped and we also have body surfing boards and beach gear. Plus a hot tub!

Our home is 2000SF with three bedrooms and two full bathrooms. Upstairs on the ground level is the master bedroom with king bed, kitchen, living room, dining area laundry, and 40 foot covered and screened patio. Downstairs is a rec room with a home theater projector, a bedroom with a queen bed, a bedroom with a full/twin bunk bed and the second bathroom. The rec room leads out to a 40 foot covered concrete patio and the back lawn. The covered patio has a love seat and small table, a 6 seat dining table, two lounge chairs, and a nice hot tub. The back yard is directly on the 12th fairway of the golf course, which is available for you and your family anytime. Our kids love to play frisbee on the golf course or go for walks and explore. The golf course is for the sole enjoyment of homeowners and their guests and there is no charge to play a round. The Discovery Harbour neighborhood where our home is located is extremely friendly and quiet. We have a HUGE orange tree with the best oranges you will ever eat, pick all that you can eat (in season). Our avocado tree is massive also and has ready to eat avocado about half the year. The floor plan is amazing, with ocean views from every room in the house except for the bathrooms. The master bedroom has a sliding door out onto the screened lanai. The queen bedroom has a sliding door onto the lower concrete patio. We have two adult PFD's and a child PFD available, three beach chairs, snorkel gear, a cooler, boogie boards, and yard games available for you to borrow. A family can easily vacation for two weeks and spend zero dollars on recreation except for vehicle gas. The weather in Naalehu is virtually perfect, with a normal high of 80 during the day and about 69 at night. With the lack of city lights, stargazing from the back yard is wonderful. You can even see the stars from the hot tub.

Our home is located in the southernmost community in the U.S. Naalehu is a beautiful, friendly town with no crowds and no traffic. It is a wonderful place to relax with your family. Centrally located halfway between Kona and Hilo, it is also the perfect spot to see both sides of the island. Our neighborhood is very tranquil, a place where you can feel at home and relax. Most visitors to the Big Island stay in Kona and don't get to see anything on the Hilo side of the island. And there is a LOT to do on the East side. This location truly opens up the entire island to you. We have all the amenities that you need but without the traffic and noise.

Feel free to eat from the fruit and nut trees on the property. You’ll love my place because it's on a beautiful piece of land in a neighborhood with palm trees galore.

The house is a cozy, off grid house with propane stove,small refrigerator, solar electricity, and a BATHROOM located about 25 feet outside the house. There are plenty of pots,pans,dishes &all you need to make a meal. Here you have the best of both worlds with WIFI & electricity and at the same time that peaceful country, island feeling.. My place is good for couples, solo adventurers, business travelers, and families.

This is a unique neighborhood, just a block down a DIRT ROAD from the paved roadway, is peaceful and serene and has a resort, yet, country like feel to it. You can hear roosters crowing off in the distance and occasionally you hear the waves crashing. It's beautiful!

This place was awesome. You get a lot for what you pay for. It had everything we needed. The host was extremely easy to communicate, which made our stay great. HIGHLY RECOMMEND.

Such a good experience! We LOVED the stars!!!!

Aubrey2017-03-28T00:00:00Z

We have wonderful staying in the house, with lovely cat. The fruits on the tree are good. The bathroom is on a separated building, a little bit inconvenient but still great! It is pretty clean. Finding the house after dark might be a bit hard (for the first time), I recommended check in before sunset or carry a flashlight (not smartphone built-in flash light). Sheryl is nice and pretty responsive to messages.

Cheney2017-05-17T00:00:00Z

great communication with Sheryl, clean stay and affordable.

Dave2017-03-01T00:00:00Z

Wonderful place to stay, especially if you are needing to get "unplugged" from the busy city life.

Serena2017-04-15T00:00:00Z

A really comfortable stay at an amazing location. Charming house and garden, with fruit trees and a lovely cat. Sheryl was also available for questions whenever we had any, making us feel safe and welcome!

Otherwise, it is a good place to stay.

Yichun2017-05-15T00:00:00Z

This is a very secluded spot, in an area that has few amenities

Carol2017-02-20T00:00:00Z

This place is wonderful , family oriented , friendly , great coffee , great people , beautiful flowers and surroundings , and a real feeling of peace and relaxation . We would go back in a heartbeat.

John2016-08-15T00:00:00Z

Couldn't be more happier with this place! Last minute reservation right down the street from green sand beach! Check out the coffee shop in the back yard

Andrew2016-12-05T00:00:00Z

We liked the instant book option, because we needed a place the next night. Beautiful location, very quiet and private. Marla is very attentive and helpful. She can offer great travel advice. Really comfy bed :)

Melissa2016-07-21T00:00:00Z

Perfect place for splitting my time between Kona and Hilo. Love the property, beautiful orchard farm and yummy coffee shop. Great for sharing with 3 friends.

Jaime2016-10-18T00:00:00Z

A friend and I stayed here for one night whilst traveling around the island. The rented space is a whole house which has a lot of space. During the evening and night a lot of birds were singing. It felt great to experience nature like this. We really enjoyed the stay here and just regretted that we only booked one night.

Fabian2016-08-21T00:00:00Z

Although we have missed some utilities in the kitchen, the accommodation was quite nice and quiet. Marla has facilitated our arrival in places and had at heart to help us.

Unique and private 10-sided eco-cabin in mystical South Point, Hawaii -- a hidden gem nestled in a private Eucalyptus and Plumeria grove on a 3 acre farm. Featuring a 1-bedroom king size bed, deck with thatch roof, out-door bath house and outdoor shower. The cabin features a full open breeze deck with a thatch roof, solar power and high-speed internet. Minutes from the incredible green sand beach, under 1 hour from the volcano and halfway between Kona and Hilo!

Suitable for couples and "off-the-beaten path" eclectic adventurer seekers! We live in rural Hawaii, therefore, you will likely see geckos and insects during your stay, however, there are no snakes in Hawaii!
This is "real" Hawaii complete with the meditative sounds of coqui frogs to lull you into blissful evening dreams! Spend an afternoon lounging on the lanai and take in the sounds of native birds and aroma of Plumeria flowers.

Excerpt from Hawai'i Vortex Field Guide:
"Besides being the landing place of the first Hawaiians, and home to a remarkable green sand beach, South Point, known locally as Ka lae, is said by the local residents to be like a rift in time. UFO sightings and intense energies are things you may hear about taking place there. The ley line coming into the South Point vortex of the Big Island, not far from Kalani, is considered to be one of the most powerful to be on land. Author William "Pila" Chiles talks about the South Point as a "doorway" where "the density of three dimensional reality seems to be very thin" and the energy is "very unusual".
The South Point vortex is believed to be an aperture or 'doorway' between dimensions, one of many to exist in the world. It's our belief after researching and writing this book that Hawai'i is connected in some ways to India as well as Egypt, two other sacred locations, by what is referred to as the World Grid."

We enjoyed our brief overnight at Michael's eco bungalow. It had all the amenities we needed, and the king bed is VERY comfortable. Note this is an off-the-grid eco hut! So lighting was a tad sparse at night (understandably), and it's not crazy fancy, but it was clean, comfortable, and we loved the location. The kitchen has the basics for cooking (pots/pans, s&p, oil, utensils), which we found super handy. You hear all the nature sounds in this bungalow — the rain on the roof, the froggies croaking at night — which we loved. The bathhouse is outside, and we found it useful to have our headlamps with us for going to/from it in the dark. We did not end up using the outdoor shower, but I think you will have needed to bring your own shampoo/conditioner/soap! We also had surprisingly good cell phone reception (Verizon) here. This place is in the perfect location for exploring South Point, Green Sand Beach, and other "southern most [...whatever...] in the US" spots! As Michael will tell you before you arrive, try to arrive in the day time. As guests who arrived at night, we second his recommendation to arrive when there's still light out! :) BONUS: It's not too often you can WALK to a really tasty coffee shop (that also serves smoothies and is on an orchid farm) in this part of the island, but you can from this place! That was a huge perk in the morning.

Anna2017-07-04T00:00:00Z

My stay in the mandala hale was nothing short of amazing. I live in a big city and needed a place to stay to decompress while being close enough to family to visit or have alone time. The beauty of the lodging and surrounding property was remarkable and unique and I very much enjoyed my stay. I felt very safe on the property and the guidelines were very reasonable and communicated to me clearly. The property was very clean and well-kept and very close to the main highway as well as to a really cool coffee/gift shop. The hosts were welcoming and filled with the true aloha spirit! I hope to have the opportunity to stay here again in the future!

orandall662017-06-13T00:00:00Z

This is a very unique and special place that we will never forget! Tucked away in an epic area. Definitely a sweet and memorable place. Michael was an incredible host and left an abundance of amazing fresh fruit and avocados straight from his family farm. Thank you for an unforgettable stay!

Our luxury home is located in the quiet, pristine Hawaiian countryside, 60 miles southeast of the Kona Airport and 4 miles from the quaint town of Na’alehu. It’s a pleasant 30 minute drive from Volcanoes National Park and a 15 minute drive from the famous Punalu'u Black Sand Beach, where you are almost certain to see turtles up close. It provides a great launch site to explore the hidden treasures of this large island with many variances in topography, weather, and forests.
We’re nestled amongst rolling grasslands, macadamia nut orchards and coffee plantations in the hills above us. This location offers a place free of high risk lava zones, floods, tsunami threats, unsanitary catchment water systems, and high noise and theft rates in resorts. Police and fire are minutes away, and the community is safe with Neighborhood Watch and its own Community Center and Fire Department.

The house was exactly how Bob described it, his helpfulness and honesty meant a lot, just wish more people were like him. The photos do not do it justice. It was lovely, the whole house is beautiful. The pool and view are so calming and serene. Bob and Susan have put a lot of love and thought into the house. It was clean, well organised, and we hope all their visitors love and enjoy it as much as we did. It had everything we needed to enjoy our stay. Missi his house keeper was available for any queries. Thankyou

Great place to stay off the beaten path, stunning view every morning, very quiet, excellent breakfast and awesome hosts. The instructions to get there are a bit like a treasure hunt, but once you arrive it's totally worth it. Get the breakfast!

Matthew2017-02-24T00:00:00Z

The place has a spectacular view over the ocean, both from the terrace and from the room. The cottage was clean and well-equipped. The geckos adds to the charm. The WiFi was unstable with i-phones but was OK with computer. Hostesses were nice and helpful. A good base for exploring the volcanoes national park and the south part of the island. Pleasant nights with sounds of nature and a cooling breeze from the ocean.

Carsten2017-07-20T00:00:00Z

You won't want to leave! This was our favorite place on the big island (out of 5 on our trip). The cottage is set on a beautiful property with fruit trees and a tropical garden-like setting with expansive ocean views towards south point. You are greeted with a basket full of fruit and warm pineapple banana bread (I'm sure it changes per stay). The place is well stocked with all necessary cookware, condiments, coffee, kitchenware etc and you see the sunrise right from your bed. Other items are also included like snorkel gear, boogie board, beach towels, games and books. The balcony and hammock are great for hanging out and enjoying the views and seabreeze. Pete and Sara live nearby and were very helpful and friendly; I recommend having the breakfast at least one morning if not included with your booking. Fair warning it is a little off the beaten path down a dirt road for a few minutes but only about 10 min from Na'alehu, 20 min from Ocean View and about 25 min to South Point. We would definitely recommend the Hawaii Hideaway Cottages and hope to visit again someday.

Miguel2017-03-12T00:00:00Z

Lovely quiet location and lovely hosts. Lovely cool breeze to enjoy a beer on the deck and watch the sunset. Bakery in Naaalehu was well worth a visit. Iced coffee at the truck next to the bakery was best in the island.

Jennifer2017-08-08T00:00:00Z

Pete was there to greet us, very friendly guy. wonderful place would definitely go back. Bed was super comfortable!

Michael2017-03-09T00:00:00Z

Very cute and gorgeous scenery, yummy breakfast, good communication, accommodating. Bumpy, unpaved road before the home might be problematic for regular cars but was ok for us in a Jeep. Hostesses were very nice and helpful. A slight bug problem; they said they are taking care of it.

Emily2017-06-22T00:00:00Z

This perfect little hideaway away was a great place for my husband to spend our honeymoon. It was a great place to get back to nature and leave our crazy world around. We enjoyed the books in the room and the relaxing on the deck with a few of our gecko friends. Its far enough off the grid to enjoy a full night sky in which there were tons of shooting starts. The breakfast is highly suggested and delicious!! Thanks for letting us stay in such a tranquil place!

(EMAIL HIDDEN)2017-05-20T00:00:00Z

The cottage is a lovely little unit with a beautiful, distant ocean view. The hammock on the verandah was by far my favourite touch. The property managers (we never met Pete or Sara which we were not aware of when booking) Jesse and Melissa were absolutely lovely and replied immediately to any texts. Although we liked the cottage itself, we had a few minor complaints that affected our experience. The AirBnB profile indicated through text, pictures, and reviews that we would be welcomed with freshly baked bread and a basket of fruit, neither of which we received. It seems trivial but it was more so a matter of unmet expectations. It seemed like it was a common theme throughout our stay that things were broken, almost broken, or lacking. However, the broken fridge was being replaced the day we left I believe. The profile description also states that the property is quiet, tranquil and private which is not the case. We could hear the conversations and dishes from the other units, as I'm sure they could hear us. We also heard the neighbours across the street yelling and slamming doors well in to the night. Another example of unmet expectations. With a young toddler, we value privacy not only for ourselves, but for others. Lastly, we didn't feel like individual guests since most of the communication from the owners were copy and pasted, with no personal responses to any of our messages. They also reminded us over four times (via copy and pasted messages) to arrive with the additional rental tax which came across as very impersonal. Considering how much we were paying to stay there, a little more attention to service and detail would have been nice. (Don't get me wrong, the property managers are lovely). All in all the cottage was cute, clean and provided us with a safe place to rest our heads... It was a shame that we didn't get to try Pete's famous breakfast that we read all about in the reviews.

Hale Malulani (Heavenly Sanctuary) is centrally located between Kona and Hilo making it the perfect place to explore the whole island. It is the southern most town in the US and is home to some of the islands most desired destinations such as Green Sands Beach. Now here is a gem…. A geologic oddity among the many few in the world, a green sand beach located in a bay that has been cut by the ocean into the side of Pu’u Mahana, a cinder cone that erupted about 50,000 years ago. The green sand is created by a common silicate deposit of Big Island lava called olivine, which stays deposited on this beach because it is heavier than the other, lighter components of the lava. It is possible to drive a 4x4 to Green Sands, there are also free-lance tour guides that will drive you there for a fee, or why not enjoy the hike, take the coast line and find a treasure. The hike is approximately 3 miles there and back. Take lots of water and sun protective gear…
Punalu'u Black Sand Beach is another famous local favorite... Relax on this beautiful black sand beach where Hawksbill turtles abound in great numbers, and enjoy the crisp cool water. If you’re interested in Hawaiian culture then here is a good place to jump on the Kings Trail. The Kings Trail was made by the ancient Hawaiians for the convenience of the King where he would walk around the island barefoot. Only the King was allowed to walk on the trail… The kings’ servants brought large round flat lava rocks from the shore and placed them in a line all the way around the island for the king to walk upon. Along the trail you will encounter petroglyphs, burial sites as well as offerings to the gods (don’t take items from the sights). The trail is impressive especially when you look at the rough terrain that the servants had to endure to bring the rocks from the shore line to create this massive trail. Walk the other direction along the coast line and you will find a small inlet called Ninole Bay another local favorite, fresh water ponds spill into the ocean during high tide and you're likely to encounter a ton of green sea turtles basking on the rocks and swimming in the pond.
Then there is Honu'apo that lays just outside of Na'alehu.... Honu’apo was once a busy sugar cane center and the pier that today lays in shambles was once an important shipping facility. The sugar cane boom in Honu’apo lasted from the 1870’s to the late 1930’s. In 1940 a tsunami wiped out the pier and in 1948 the land was turned into a park. Here you will find picnic tables, bathroom and a shower. This is a great place to go after a trip to south point or the volcano. Honu’apo is one of the beaches that one can spot a Hawaiian Hawksbill sea turtle native to the Hawaiian Islands unlike the common green sea turtle. The turtles use the fresh water pond as a safe haven from the deep blue, here they rest and feed.
Hawaii Volcano National Park... This is probably the first thing on your to-do list. The park is a 50 minute drive from here and well worth visiting.
There is over 150 miles of trails to venture as you take in the fresh air and breath taking sights…
Visit the active volcano and watch Pele in action creating the newest land on Earth.
And of course we cant forget the southern most point of the United States.... South Point (Kalae) Just a 15 mile drive from Malulani..... Take the plunge……….. Jump off the southern most tip of the United States….. Best time to jump is in spring and summer the tide and current get rough during the fall and winter, however, jumping at any time is exhilarating ;-) At Kalae you will most likely run into some locals deep sea fishing from the edge of the cliff. They use a black trash bag to drag their line out to the deep blue, you may see these bags way off in the distance. You may even get lucky enough to see them rustle in a big catch…
If you rented a 4x4 drive the coast line all the way to Green Sands Beach and beyond, or if your feeling adventurous walk it. If you’re lucky enough you may run into a Monk Seal or two basking on the shore. Between South Point and Green Sands you'll find Pinau Bay a small white sand beach with a protected crystal clear blue pool to relax and cool off in, a local favorite. There are sacred sites to enjoy and some potentially wonderful selfie shots….!
Here is just a sneak peek of what you will discover while staying at Malulani that we look forward to sharing with you..... Our in house guest book will give you many more gems to explore we hope to be hosting you soon :)

If your looking for peace and quiet, a host that you can depend on and a vacation of a lifetime then you must book this home. Words can not describe

We had an absolutely amazing stay at Hale Malulani! The house is even more gorgeous than the pictures, if that's even possible. The house was spotless and huge with beautiful ocean views and comfortable furniture. Tabatha was very kind and a great hostess, she left us lots of fresh fruit and coffee for breakfast and provided everything we could need from beach towels to shampoo. Also, there's the sweetest loving kitty living on the property who we nicknamed Sophie :-) Thanks again, Tabatha! Aloha!

Justin2017-09-06T00:00:00Z

Amazing house overlooking coast. Would stay here again anytime!

Madison2017-08-18T00:00:00Z

The house is a little difficult to find but the directions were very clear and easy to follow. It requires a little off roading but it's definitely worth the adventure. The house is gorgeous and secluded. It was very clean inside and it was nice being able to view the sunrise and sunset from the balcony. It is also close to south point and green sand beach. I would definitely recommend staying with Tabatha!

Trevor2017-09-05T00:00:00Z

We did not want to leave Tabatha's place! The house was immaculate and had all the amenities we could have wanted. The beds were super comfortable and the kitchen fully stocked. We might have ended up doing less than we wanted to just because it was so comfortable to relax in the house. The place is very private and quiet. There are beautiful views of the ocean from the wrap-around balcony and lots of nice fruit trees in the garden. As an added bonus, there was a friendly kitty that would visit and sit with us on the balcony. We wish we could have stayed longer!

tracy2017-08-29T00:00:00Z

Beautiful view, wrap around porch, lots of windows to enjoy the scenery. Beautiful house. Brand new kitchen, all the comforts of home.

Andreas2017-08-15T00:00:00Z

This home is gorgeous! The beds are so comfortable. I wouldn't have gotten out of bed except that I woke up to the beautiful colors of the sunrise on the horizon. I could have watched it from bed but the views from the wrap around deck with South Point in the distance couldn't be missed. Tabatha welcomed us personally and was always quick to reply to all of my inquiries. Highly recommend Hale Malulani!
